Rags/Slick, I really appreciate your opinions on hosting this, you did such a nice job with the FAQ. As you can see, the format is a bit different. Are you suggesting a hosted HTML page on someone's site?
First, you should decide how you want this project to end up. Any of these options would be good. You could maintain control of it in this thread and add to it or modify it in any way as you see fit. Or, with Ruatha’s concurrence of course, I think it would make a great addition to the FAQ. We could crack open one of those “Reserved for future use” paragraphs like #17 and that would make the addition very easy. We just add “17.” to the beginning of all existing paragraphs and there you go. Keep in mind, if added to the FAQ you would give up some control of it since it sorta becomes community property and anyone is free to add to it or add countering strategies. As for adding it, let me know. I am in the middle of another minor revision (being delayed by real life and a terrible cold right now) and would gladly incorporate it.

On the issue of a hosted HTML page. It could be a good thing but I have to say I am a little uncomfortable with this for a few of reasons. First, I am very unskilled at HTML; not that I couldn’t learn or that the necessary formatting would be hard, but a text file is just simpler. Second, having the file here allows us to quickly refer to it to help answer questions as well as cut/paste from other threads for additions; also, linking to other threads here is very easy. Lastly, I think it would be asking a little too much to have someone pay for a hosted site. If it was a free site, those usually come with pop-ups which I hate and access can be revoked on short notice. Maybe I am just a dinosaur when it comes to converting.

Thoughts?
